What is this place called?
What would sound better is: What is the name of this place?

Answer 2 is correct. In theory, How seems to be correct because you are asking someone HOW to do something, How to call this place by name; but, you are really asking for the name of a location. How is this place called would be answered by saying With words, that's how it is called. What is this place called would give you the name.

What is this place called. Is the correct phasing of the question
A place is not a how, properly stated the question would be "what is the name of this place"

#2 is correct. #1 sounds like a translation from another language. Even better is:
What is this place?
or
What is the name of this place?

I would go with "What is this place called" it sounds better, when you say "how is this place called" it sounds foreign.

I think "What is this place called?" sounds better..
You can attach "again?" at the end to make it better ;)
